Perry Owens:
Hi everyone.
Since retiring as research director of an instrumentation company I have been steadily equipping a workshop and teaching myself welding and turning. My main hobby is collecting and shooting antique rifles so I have to make small parts and reloading equipment for myself. I also run the cowboy action shooting section of my shooting club so I spend some time making steel reactive targets of various types. I have been looking for other things to make using my new skills. Not really interested in steam engines etc but quite fancy a pulse jet build.
At present my workshop is half of a double garage but the wife refuses to give up her half so I plan to build one in the garden at some time.

John Rudd:
Perry,

Welcome to the forum... :wave:

Which instrumentation company were you with? Foxbro springs to mind.....

"Which instrumentation company were you with? Foxbro springs to mind....."

Testing Machines Inc, based in New York with plants in the UK, France, Holland, Sweden and China. What with visiting the factories and the worldwide agency network I was hardly ever home so had no time for hobbies.

Hi Perry  :wave:

Welcome to the collective :borg:

A pulse jet would be very cool to build. Since you like to shoot, you could always build a modern air gun!
